“If we view each goal or challenge as a mountain, faith is a process whereby we grow with each mountain we climb.”
– DAISAKU IKEDA
“People’s beliefs about their abilities have a profound effect on those abilities. Ability is not a fixed property; there is a huge variability in how you perform. People who have a sense of self-efficacy bounce back from failures; they approach things in terms of how to handle them rather than worrying about what can go wrong.”
― Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence
“People with well-developed emotional skills are also more likely to be content and effective in their lives, mastering the habits of mind that foster their own productivity; people who cannot marshal some control over their emotional life fight inner battles that sabotage their ability for focused work and clear thought.”
― Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence
“When people can’t regulate their emotions, they try to control other people. Learning how to regulate is freedom.”
– Dr. Nicole LePera
“By doing shadow work, we learn that every single emotion and wound that we possess has a gift to share with us. Even the most obnoxious, ugly, or shameful parts of ourselves provide a path back to Oneness.”
― Aletheia Luna, Mindful Shadow Work: Exercises For Befriending Your Dark Side, Healing Trauma, and Finding Joy
“Shadow work is the way to illumination. When we become aware of all that is buried within us, that which is lurking beneath the surface no longer has power over us.”

“Helping people better manage their upsetting feelings—anger, anxiety, depression, pessimism, and loneliness—is a form of disease prevention. Since the data show that the toxicity of these emotions, when chronic, is on a par with smoking cigarettes, helping people handle them better could potentially have a medical payoff as great as getting heavy smokers to quit.”
― Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence
“The most powerful form of nondefensive listening, of course, is empathy: actually hearing the feelings behind what is being said.”
― Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence
“The unconscious hides our shadow, but also, and more importantly, the being we seek to create.”
― Paching Hoé Lambaiho
